After market cross frame support

I'm curious if there are any after market cross frame supports out there for C4 convertibles?

Is there a problem with your stock unit?

You're not going to gain anything over the stock unit.

If you want to reduce body flex, start with a roll bar or an RDR cross-bar.

I'm not directly familiar with this cross bar (both my cars are coupes), so please pardon some simple questions. This item looks fairly lightweight (how many pounds?), but is the (torsional) improvement noticeable? Just curious about the "improvement per pound" ratio.

Thanks.

May not be true, the R-D unit (which I have BTW) is much stronger and will flex less then the stock unit. Noticable differance, who knows. It really helped out my coupe.
